Recs if you like Dawn of the North...

these are pulled from a goodreads list that was published--working on trying to find the link again

All the 2026 BOTM monthly, add on, and Allurial titles

Romances with Vikings, Barbarians, Berserkers and other warlords as the mmc.

Books where he maybe…invades her country, is a feared warlord in their armies, is given to him as a warprize, or she is put into an arranged marriage with him as part of a alliance or peace negotiations…or maybe he is a alien race that actually goes beserk when he’s angry 🤷‍♀️.

Fantasy books where the elements are not the primary source for their magic/superpowers.

Books with sun, moon, stars, or a time of day in the title.

A collection of stories where power is born in darkness, fate crowns the unwilling, and ancient magic shapes those brave enough to step into the shadows.

Suggestions welcome ☺️

if you don’t like any of these angels please kindly keep that blasphemy to yourself

*editor’s note: for dawn of the north, i specifically mean kass
